Thu, February 12, 2004 - 6:39 AMHave you been to Philly before? I lived there in the early nineties. It is a very interesting city with lots to see. I am thinking of going up to NYC on Saturday. I used to live there too but have not been back since 9/11. -

Re: AAG
Thu, February 12, 2004 - 11:06 AMI lived across the Ben Franklin Bridge in NJ. It is good you have some connections there. I was there a year on temporary work and most of my friends were people I worked with. So, I know my way around the city well but don't have any friends living there. Perhaps, I will run into you at the conference.

Re: AAG
Sat, February 14, 2004 - 8:09 PMI can get a government rate at the Westin. It's a awesome hotel, but I think rather pricey if you can't get a special rate. It's right downstair and a cab ride away from everything. -

My best friend decided to come with me. I was hoping some tribers would get together but then again this tribe is very new. Anyhow, us geographie tribers should make some sort of an attempt to meet up? -

Re: AAG
Mon, March 1, 2004 - 8:15 PMThat hotel looks pretty sweet. Very similar to the "W". I might have to change my reservations :)
I'm up for meeting up with anyone because I'm flying solo on this trip. The only people I know are the conference organizers. One of my former professors is the conference chair.
